Services and Medical Care

We do. In addition to traditional veterinary medicine, we offer integrative therapy options to support your pet’s overall health and well-being. Our services include pet acupuncture, laser therapy, Chinese herbal medicine, and other supportive therapies. 

Our goal is to provide comprehensive care that considers your pet’s physical health, comfort, mobility, and quality of life. We work with you to determine which treatment options may best support your pet’s unique needs.

Do you offer ear cropping services for dogs?

Yes. We provide professional ear cropping services for dogs at Luv-N-Care Animal Hospital. 

Our team provides professional surgical care and guidance throughout the ear cropping process.  We help you understand what to expect before and after your dog’s procedure. Ear cropping requires careful planning, proper surgical technique, and appropriate aftercare to support your dog’s health and comfort throughout the process. Before scheduling the procedure, we will discuss your goals, your dog’s age and health status, the surgical process, and recommended aftercare. 

Do you provide advanced diagnostics?

Do you provide international and interstate health certificates for pet travel?

Yes. Our veterinarians provide International and Interstate Health Certificates to help prepare pets for domestic relocation and international travel. We understand that traveling with a pet can involve detailed requirements, documentation, vaccinations, testing, and strict timelines, so our team works with you to help make the process as smooth as possible.

During a health certificate appointment, we perform a physical examination, review your pet’s medical records, and help ensure required documentation is completed accurately based on your destination’s requirements. Our veterinarians are USDA accredited to complete and sign international health certificates, and we recommend starting the process well in advance since some destinations require additional steps that may take weeks or months to complete.

What types of surgery do you perform?

We offer a wide range of surgical procedures, including general surgery, orthopedic surgery, oral surgery, endoscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, ophthalmic surgery, and laser surgery.  We also offer TPLO surgery. 

Surgery is always recommended on a case-by-case basis, after your pet has been thoroughly evaluated. Our team will discuss your pet’s procedure, preparation, recovery, and aftercare recommendations before surgery.

Do you provide reproductive care for dogs and cats?

Yes. We provide comprehensive pet reproductive services for dogs and cats to support responsible breeding and the health of breeding pets. Our reproductive care includes fertility evaluations, progesterone testing, ovulation monitoring, artificial insemination for dogs, diagnostic testing, pregnancy monitoring, and guidance throughout the breeding and pregnancy process. 

Our team can help with canine pregnancy care, including pregnancy confirmation, monitoring your dog’s health throughout pregnancy, discussing nutrition and health considerations, and providing recommendations to support the mother and puppies before and after birth. We can also help with breeding timing, reproductive planning, and other concerns related to canine and feline reproduction.

When medically necessary, we provide cesarean sections (C-sections) for dogs during business hours. If a pregnant dog requires surgical delivery, we will quickly evaluate the situation, discuss available options, and help determine the best course of care to support the health of the mother and puppies.
